[ale] [OT] Life north of ATL?

[Benjie]

I commute from Roswell to midtown, and I can say that the morning ride from
Holcomb Bridge road to North Springs station varies from 15-45 minutes
everyday, and the red line from North Springs to Art Center Station is
about 20 minutes.  GA 400 traffic is bad from 7 AM to 9:30 AM, and the
train ridership has been going up over the past year ( some mornings if I
am late to the train, it can be standing room only.)  I do get a lot of
reading done on the train, and more often than not it is more relaxing than
fighting traffic in and out of Atlanta.  Also, Roswell has been a very
pleasant place to live for the past 8 years.  There are a lot of awsome
parks ( some dog park areas where dogs can be off lead), good recreational
programs for my kids at both the park centers and at the Y, and the way of
life has been a little more relaxed.

"The most important thing to remember about drunks is that drunks are far
more intelligent than non-drunks. They spend a lot of time talking in pubs,
unlike workaholics who concentrate on their careers and ambitions, who
never develop their higher spiritual values, who never explore the insides
of their head like a drunk does."  -- Shane McGowan
